Sources inside Old Trafford revealed that Paul Pogba’s teammates felt disrespected and betrayed after Mino Raiola’s comment on Paul Pogba’s future before a crucial Champions League game against RB Leipzig.
Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola confirmed that his client stint at Manchester United has almost ended and he will not sign any new contract.
After that, the situation around Paul Pogba has broken down. As per an outlet in The Athletic by Laurie Whitwell, ‘It dominates all the conversations … when they finish their meetings, “Is that right Paul?” That’s the atmosphere in the dressing room, for sure,’ insiders claim.
‘Some sources said team-mates felt disrespected at the timing.’
‘Solskjaer was furious at Raiola and spoke to his player to express his displeasure, but the circumstances dictated a certain diplomacy too, with Pogba possibly required to perform a few hours later.’
‘Suspicions are that Solskjaer would have preferred to avoid using Pogba at all against Leipzig as a signal of power — and it seems telling that Donny van de Beek was the first substitute.’
‘It remains to be seen how much Pogba features from here but Solskjaer has long since advocated a sale and Woodward is understood to appreciate the need to resolve the matter.’
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer started Paul Pogba last night against Manchester City and he has made his mark in the field. After the match, Pogba said, “I’ve always fought and will always fight for Manchester United, my teammates, and the fans. Bla Bla Bla is not important.”
